labor of 20 million full-time volunteers.” -- Whoopie

Shelter, Inc. Needs Volunteers!
Shelter, Inc. volunteers range in age from twelve to ninety-six. As an agency we value the care, commitment and contributions of volunteers. Because we are dedicated to ensuring the safety of those we serve, we require criminal background clearances be conducted for all paid and volunteer applicants.
For those of you who may be interested in volunteering time or talent at Shelter, Inc. or perhaps making a donation, there are a HOST of jobs, opportunities, and ideas for you to choose from! If you have just an hour, or maybe more, we have opportunities that match your time availability, talent and community spirit.
For additional information regarding volunteer opportunities, please contact one of our our volunteer coordinators below:

Joyce Gohlke
(Alpena) and Sharon Endicott (Oscoda) spend endless hours shopping, gathering,
washing and repairing household goods, clothing and children's items for
survivor families served by Shelter, Inc. in northeast Michigan. Rest and retirement are
words absent from the actions and vocabulary of these two dynamic women. They
are awesome examples of community spirit, caring and support.
